A person on the top of a tall building looks through his binoculars at his friend that is 300 ft away from the building on the g
1 answer:
Answer:
520 feets
Step-by-step explanation:
The height of the building, h can be obtuined using trigonometry ;
From the attached diagram, opposite side = 300 feets ; height, h = adjacent side
Hence,
Tan θ = opposite / Adjacent
Tan 30° = 300 / height
0.5773502 = 300 / height
Height = 300 / 0.5773502
Height = 519.615
Height = 520 feets

Hello!
First of all, let's find the triangle. As we can see, it is eight units long and four units tall. We can use the triangle formula and half the product.
4(8)=32
32/2=16
Now we need to find the area of the semicircle. We can use circle formulas and half our final answer. We will find the area using A=r².
We know that the diameter of this circle is eight. Therefore our radius is 4.
A=²
A=
Now we multiply.
16≈50.27
Now we add our triangle.
50.27+16=66.27
The nearest answer to this is B)66.2. It may have been a bit over as we used , not 3.14.
I hope this helps!
